I don't think a UI should use both "authentic*" (~ated, ~ity, etc) and "valid*", because this might not be confusing to newcomers, it would definitely be for people who already know what "valid" means in OpenPGP context. I think it's preferable to replace "valid" by "authentic" because it conveys the meaning better, but you definitely shouldn't then call /something else/ "validity".
